Thanks for everything that you have done for me and my mom in the past - we really do appreciate it.
You will be missed very much. Please post for as long as you can.
Thanks

vicc,

i'm not the only one who has been saved pain and grief by your advice about anti-oxidants.....because you are always so ready to pass on all that you've learned, i don't think u need to worry too much about "batting averages".....i think u can expect to hear "well done, good and faithful servant"......besides, with the spine problems, and rsd -- you've served your time in h*ll.

when u arrive 'home', remember to save a dance for me.....i'll be along when i can.

Dear Vic,
Wow, I was also in shock. I didn't know that your liver could grow that fast!! I just want to say, your holding on with all your might to this awful disease, the dr. who put you on all these codine pills that tend to enlarge the heart, should have been put on them too! I know, it's too late for you now, but that Doc. needs to be reported so as not to do this to anyone else. You did admit that too much of this codeine plus the acetaminophen is wayyyyyyyyyy too high, you being so thin and small!! darn doctors. With this all said, Vic.. Please know you will be in my prayers and thoughts. ~Love you!~Desi

Sorry about that Vic.. I said that tends to enlarge the heart.. I mean, the liver.. duh!! I also said it's too late for you now, I am sorry.. I am NOT God.. God will take you, perform a miracle for your liver, or have you live many more years. The Doc's are not our God's.. they help along with God.. BUT IT IS IN GOD'S PARK, MY FRIEND, TO DECIDE IF, WHEN, WHERE?? Love ya!~Desi

I just wanted to say again how sorry I am for what you are going through. I hope that your next days will be painfree and I know God is waiting to walk you through those gates. The song comes to mind, " When we All get to Heaven"

I wanted to ask you too if you'd list some of those meds that messed up your liver. I'm like Desi, it makes me angry that Drs. aren't telling the truth about meds. I know I lost Bill because of a high blood pressure med that I got him off of 3 times and the Drs. put him back on it the week before he passed.

I try not to take anymore meds then I have to. I'm blessed with a Dr. that tries to get my pain down other ways.

Also, it bothers me about the Dr. shaking your hand and saying goodbye. I believe that to be cold. Why would he not take care of you until the end. My Dr. just lost a 22 year old last week and he actually sat with her through to the end. These Drs. aren't just suppose to dispense meds, at least I don't feel so.

Please let us know if we can do anything to help you. I know we have talked on the phone before and you do have my no. I believe. If you want to talk, I am here for you.

You have been there for me.

[QUOTE=Vicc;215563]I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the latest news from my doc, and I guess the best way is to just say that I’m dieing. I could live another three or four months, or it could happen next week (probably not), but I won’t be able to say goodbye when the time comes, so I’m saying it now.

I am sorry to hear this news Vicc. I am gladd to hear that the doctor increased the oxycodone and I hope that you have enough so that you can be in less pain, or maybe even pain free.

Please keep posting as long as you can so that the whole community can still share you and your fighting spirit.

I wanted to apologize for what I said about your Dr. We all have different stories to tell and no one knows each others complete stories. I shouldn't have commented about your Dr. and your meds.

When we are blessed to find good Drs. I believe they can only do so much anyway and if they are caring Drs. they do the best for as long as they can.

I am glad you came to us and told us what was going on with you and as far as suicide, we have a suicide forum here where people do feel free to discuss suicide. We all need to vent and I am glad you did.

Dear Vicc - Just wanted to say how sorry I am that we will be losing you sometime, all too soon. You've been a real inspiration and help to many people here and no doubt in your offline world also. I believe that the most imporant measure of a person's life is in the positive ways he's impacted the lives of others. By that standard you are boundless.

Sending big hugs to you and your family from your fellow Kansan, Teresa
